The Return of Guy Ritchie....

As far as I'm concerned, Guy Ritchie disappeared in 2000 after he did snatch. Whatever attempt he had between then and now at creating what resembled film was a complete and utter disappointment....UNITL THIS!!!!

In my opinion, Rocknrolla is a masterpiece. Many will disagree, including my good friend Matthew Beckner who liked the film, but wasn't as impressed as I was. True the film is not flawless, I'm sue you'll all agree, but in the end the result was pure adrenaline and entertainment with a bit of laughter thrown in for good measure...

I don't want to ruin the film for anyone, but my personal opinion is this:

1) The film presents a unique insight into the organized underworld in London...
2) The film's cast does a brilliant job, though I'd have to agree with most critics, not all characters were necessary for the film's success. Some could have been done without (like for example Mumbles)
3) I liked the soundtrack a lot and the quality of the sound in the film was astounding
4) The film has some very interesting scenes
5) Cinematography leaves a lot to be desired - Guy needs to fix that on the next one, The Real Rocknrolla!!!!
6) The film could have had a hotter girl in it!
7) Let me know, once you've seen it, which seen in the film is one of the worst scenes ever captured on camera.

Overall....a definite one to watch and be entertained by. If you're going in expecting a Good Will Hunting type film, don't bother. If you think you're going to see something that's better than Lock Stock or Snatch, then save your time and money. But if you want to go have a good laugh and enjoy a well written script with some creative direction and brilliant lines (Some of the best lines I've ever heard) then go watch this film without hesitation!

Let me know your thoughts...until then...adios amigos
